Wording of this Handout:
No time for him.
Time after time I have met Christians who do everything but spend tome with God. Its not that they are bad Christians, or even that they want to be so busy, its just a lack of self-discipline.
Then comes dinner, dishes, more TV and maybe a computer game. Then comes homework, and some conversation, a bit more food, then oh look at the time! Time to go wearily to bed, far later than planned, an then they see the Bible beside the bed. Maybe tomorrow....
The sad thing is, most of ht things that keep christians like this from spending time with God are good things. There's nothing sinful about breakfast, school, homework, TV and so on. But what a trade-off. God waits patiently for time with HIs child, but it never happens. Too busy.
He was too busy to eat!
The Bible says: "And the cares of this world, and the deceitfulness of riches, and the desires for the other things entering in, choke the word, and it becomes unfruitful." Mark 4:19 (King James version plus a slight change)
